VIDEO: Another day, another mountain


This time, the mountain was in Albuquerque. Dan and I took the world's longest tram (they keep reminding you of that) to Sandia Peak, which is a whopping 10,000+ feet above sea level. The tram isn't for weak stomachs -- just like the food -- but it's worth the ride.

Eating here is not for the weak

A gentleman named Dan, a son of Ellen who is a friend of my mother, took me 'round the city today. We saw some Petroglyphs, as noted, and we also went to the National Atomic Museum.

And then. And then we ate.

New Mexico loves food. They love Mexican food. They love eggs, re-fried beans, rice, cheese, cheese, chile (red and green), cheese, and honey. I don't know how I ate what I ate. Should have taken a picture. Then again, any record of having eaten that might hurt my stomach.

Food. Delicious, filling, and heart-attack inducing. Welcome to The Southwest America.
